A few months back I had a chance to meet the fabulous Kristin behind Reverie Events and let me tell you she's just as sparkling and sweet as the wedding magic she creates. But when Kristin teams up with the equally lovely Kay English...well, they're basically unstoppable. *Enter* this spring black tie affair that's...
You guys, if I could wear only coral and gold for the rest of my life, I so would. And I'd never tire of it. So when a soiree in my most-loved color combo pops up in my inbox?

When two people with a true passion for art tie the knot in a colorful Pratt Mansion wedding, the results are amazing. Especially when that vibrant shindig is a fabulous collaboration between their creative juices and some of New York's finest vendors. Think Barbara's Flower Shop, Cristal Paredes and ...
Just this morning I was scheming up a tropical vacation with my hubs. Somewhere sunny with ocean views and lots of downtime. Somewhere like Maui. I'm pretty sure that vacation dream spawned from this very wedding. Captured by Braun Photography and Ohana Films with details by ...
This summer stunner from Hunter Photographic epitomizes classic style in every way possible. From the Bride arriving at the same church and in the same Rolls Royce as her mother in 1977, to the lace Pronivias dress, the pearls, the tux and everything in between. Ending with a serious bang of beautiful fireworks (a surprise for the Bride & Groom!) this...
If there is one thing I've learned in my years at SMP, it's that couples as sweet as these two always, always throw amazing weddings. Weddings that start with an awesome love story (read: the bride's description below) and end with a rustic meets glam affair filled with fall hued blooms from Catskills Flowers and moment after moment of pure joy captured by ...

Weddings are hard to ever categorize into one single "box." Especially when you've got a day that infuses both modernity and tradition into one seamless event. With a classic church ceremony followed by a contemporary, loft-style reception this wedding, dear SMPers, is the best of both worlds. Alexandra Steele snapped up the goodies and the perfect start to your Friday is waiting...
This bride admits getting a November wedding in Chicago to feel "warm" is a challenge, but with the help of Clementine Custom Events, florals from Studio AG, and a significant number of candles, she most certainly pulled it off. Christy Tyler Photography did a lovely job capturing the event so...
We’ve had our share of lovely brides that have graced the pages of SMP, but perhaps none as fiercely beautiful and inspiring as this one. She's reminded us that the true beauty behind a wedding is in the love and strength two people can give one another—not the dress, shoes, makeup or even hair can shine as bright. After being diagnosed with cancer nine months into planning her wedding, this sweet bride chose to stand strong, hair or no hair, and marry her handsome Marine. And with a little...
Remember when having a "themed" wedding was so taboo? Like themed was a bad word or something? Well, long gone are those days because couples have figured out that a theme done right can bring instant whimsy and cohesion to a celebration. Especially when you layer on flowers as pretty as this next couple's! Click here for more photos from Laurel McConnell.
If I've said it once, I've said it a 1,000 times, but the backyard wedding really is my favorite (I swear). It's intimate and special and it holds the secret of the bride's girlhood days, which, at least in my case, were spent in the backyard dreaming of this day. Add fabulous pros like Hannah Suh Photography and Feast for a King to the mix and what you have, my friends...

The reason I love winter weddings isn't because I particularly like being cold. No, the reason lies in the coziness that is inside on a cold winter day. Candles to warm my heart, sweaters to warm my bones. And when a wedding combines all of that plus a beautiful couple, stunning blooms from The Flower Factory, and a design to match a la Filosophi Events... well that's...
I am completely obsessed with this wedding. Maybe that has a little something to do with the fact that it happens to be styled after one of my favorite shows (Mad Men) AND it's drop-dead gorgeous in every which way possible. I'm talking rich purple hues, a crazy cool Omni Parker House setting and one seriously adorable bride and groom. See it all captured by ...
